Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a girl in a green skirt walked in calmly.
With bright eyes and white teeth, cloud-like hair, her charming oval-shaped face was slightly raised, with a calm expression showing a hint of pride that could not be concealed.
"Miss Su!"
Seeing this girl in a green skirt, Li Huai was the first to react, stood up suddenly, and cried out in surprise.
At this time, everyone present also recognized the identity of the girl in the green skirt. Some were excited, some were surprised, and some frowned slightly.
"Long Yuan Su Jiao has met all of you uncles and uncles." The girl in the green skirt bent slightly and said in a low voice.
The elders of the Li family recovered from their initial surprise and exchanged greetings with smiles. After Su Jiao sat down, the eldest elder Li Fengtu suddenly asked: "Xiaojiao, who is the Du Qingxi you just mentioned?"
"Of course she is the boss of Qingxi Restaurant." Su Jiao smiled softly, and then sighed softly: "She is a famous and proud daughter of Longyuan City, the treasure of the head of the Du family, and even I dare not offend her easily.
her."
What!
The boss behind Qingxi Restaurant is actually the eldest lady of the Du family in Longyuan City?
Everyone in the house was shocked.
Longyuan City is the core of the million-mile Southern Border. It is like a royal capital. Almost all the powerful families and sects in the entire Southern Border are located here.
Among these many major forces, the eight major sects, three universities, and six major families are the most eye-catching. The strength and rich foundation of these major forces are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
The Su family from Su Jiao and the Du family from Du Qingxi are two of the six major families in Longyuan City. Although the Li family is king and hegemon in Songyan City, they can't face Su Jiao, who is from the sixth family in Longyuan City.
The little girl from one of the big families still has to maintain enough respect. This is the gap between strength and heritage!
Damn it!
If Su Jiao hadn't appeared, our Li family would have almost caused a huge disaster this time... Thinking of the terrifying background of Qingxi Restaurant, Li Fengtu was filled with fear.
"Uncles, there is no need to worry, and there is no need to fight for a waste that has ruined the family. As far as I know, Du Qingxi seems to want to train him into a spiritual chef and take him into the trial place of the Southern Barbarian Underworld. By then
, I’ll just go in and grab the Dong Ming Ling.”
Su Jiao looked calm and calm, as if she was talking about a trivial matter, and laughed softly: "I would like to see what this guy who has been engaged to me since childhood is capable of."
"Since Miss Su has come to Songyan City, as the host, I will accompany you." Li Huai spoke loudly, his eyes showing deep enthusiasm without concealment.
"Then it will be hard work."
Su Jiao smiled and nodded, her expression remained calm, and it was hard to tell what she was thinking.
…
Three months passed by in a hurry.
Chen Xi sat on the ground and slowly opened a book.
The book recorded his cultivation experience and mental journey in the past three months. From the day he killed the two-headed purple rhinoceros demon, he began to write down his daily cultivation gains on the pages of the book.
Chen Xi couldn't explain the reason why he did this. It seemed that it was because he had difficulty adapting to the talisman-making job he had been engaged in for four years, so he always wanted to pick up the talisman pen and scribble.
.
In fact, Chen Xi himself knows that he still loves making talismans very much. He likes the talisman patterns pouring down from his pen, and he likes those mysterious, slender and beautiful talisman trajectories...
But now, all this appears in the form of words in books, recording bit by bit his thoughts that he didn't want to talk to others.
"I'm very happy. Senior Ji Yu praised my rapid progress in footwork. In fact, I know that without the guidance of senior Ji Yu, I would never have been able to reach the level of 'knowing the subtleties' of "Dragon's Eight Steps" so quickly."
"I failed to master the swordsmanship of "Luan Cape Sword Technique" tonight, and I have been unable to break through the realm of 'Zhiwei'. I felt very annoyed. I sat by the stream in a daze, thinking of my younger brother who was practicing swordsmanship with his left hand and was unremitting. What did I have to do?
Who are you qualified to be upset and shrink from?"
"I finally became an Eryeling chef. Both Pei Pei and Qiao Nan praised me as a genius in cooking. Old Man Ma expressed strong opposition, saying that he was afraid of spoiling me and not conducive to my growth... Haha, in fact, Ma
Although the old man has a grumpy and eccentric temper, his personality is quite cute."
"Late at night, while walking in the forbidden land of the southern barbarians, I came across a powerful yellow ape, a beast in the innate realm. Its skin was like fine iron, hard to be hurt by a sword, its speed was as fast as lightning, and its strength was infinite. Seeing that there was no way to escape, he resolutely stood up and fought until his true energy was exhausted and his physical body
He was severely injured, so he pierced his throat with his sword skills and killed him on the spot. After this fierce battle of life and death, Da Beng Quan finally advanced to the third level of "breaking rocks like needles", and his sword skills also advanced to "Zhiwei". It's really gratifying.
"Congratulations, senior Ji Yu said with a smile, it's so obvious!"
…
As he flipped through the pages, it seemed as if he could see his own emotions and emotions at that time, and a smile couldn't help but appear on Chen Xi's lips.
"Hey, you kid can still laugh?"
Old Man Ma pushed the door open and spoke in surprise. In his impression, Chen Xi was indeed just like his nickname, 'Facial Paralyzed Chen', his expression had not changed at all. At this moment, when he saw the fleeting smile on Chen Xi's lips, he couldn't help but feel surprised.
Surprised.
Chen Xi closed the book and asked: "Is it time to learn the cooking skills of Chef Sanye Ling?"
"You haven't advanced to the Purple Mansion Realm yet, and you haven't made much progress in your studies now." Old Man Ma shook his head and said, "I will inform you when I come this time. Boss Du will come to talk to you later."
As he said that, Old Man Ma glanced at the jade slip beside Chen Xi, picked it up and looked at it, and couldn't help but said in shock: "The sword technique of Luancai?"
"Yeah." Chen Xi nodded.
There were 3,000 pieces of spiritual crystals stored in the storage ring he obtained when he hunted the great purple rhinoceros demon. Two months ago, he took out 500 pieces of spiritual crystals and asked Pei Bi to buy the "Lan Cape Sword" on the market.
Law".
"Chaos Cape Sword Technique" is also considered a treasure among middle-grade martial arts. The sword moves are as ethereal as the wind and as sharp as a snake. After being personally repaired by Ji Yu, the spirit of the cave, the only six sword moves have completely changed its appearance and quality.
It even reached a higher level, making Chen Xi unable to put it down.
"Yes, practicing some sword skills can be used to protect yourself."
Old Man Ma coughed dryly and said: "But Chen Xi, I think your thoughts should be on cooking. A young man like you with a talent for cooking can definitely reach the highest level of a spiritual chef and shock the entire Chu Dynasty. By then,
Even the Emperor of Chu would invite you to be his imperial chef."
Old Man Ma drew Chen Xi a tempting pie that would excite all spiritual chefs, but Chen Xi was indifferent because he had too many things to do and it was impossible for him to be a spiritual chef for the rest of his life.
"Hey, think about it yourself, I won't force you. If you have the chance, how about you go and participate in the Great Chu Dynasty's ten-year spiritual chef ranking competition to help me fulfill my wish?"
Old Man Ma patted Chen Xi on the shoulder, with a rare hint of nervousness and expectation on his face.
Perhaps this is the long-cherished wish that Old Man Ma has longed to fulfill in his life? This reminded Chen Xi of his grandfather. Before his death, the old man longed to one day rebuild the Chen family. Unfortunately, before his wish came true, he was killed by the enemy...
Thinking of this, Chen Xi felt sour in his heart and said firmly: "I promise you!"
Old Man Ma was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he silently turned around and left. It wasn't until he walked out of the room that he burst into laughter, his deep and hoarse voice filled with endless joy and relief.
If grandpa were alive and saw my rapid progress in cultivation, he would laugh as happily as Old Man Ma, right?
Chen Xi shook his head, tried hard to dispel the unrealistic thoughts in his mind, picked up the talisman pen and wrote something on a blank piece of paper.
Gulu gulu~
Ji Yu appeared in the small dark room at some point. He took a few sips from the wine gourd and asked, "Have you finished writing?"
Chen Xi hummed and handed over the paper filled with lines of Cang Qiu's handwriting.
The writing on the paper is divided into four categories.
The first category, the cultivation chapter, is the innate perfection of qi refining and the fifth level of innate refining of body.
The second category, the martial arts chapter, "Da Beng Fist" reaches the state of perfect unity between nature and man; "The Eight Steps of the Heavenly Dragon" reaches the state of 'knowing the subtleties'; and 'Luan Cape Feng Sword Technique' reaches the state of 'knowing the subtleties'.
The third category, weapons chapter, Qing Chong Sword, a non-level magic weapon.
The fourth category, self-assessment of combat power: You are invincible under Zifu, but if you challenge your opponent beyond the realm, your winning rate is not high.
From the day he practiced body and sword skills, Ji Yu asked him to set aside one day every month for self-examination, understanding changes in strength and summarizing combat experience.
According to Ji Yu, there is no progress without hard work; without introspection, how can one achieve great things?
Chen Xi likes this method very much. Only by being good at summarizing experience and self-reflection can he make up for his own shortcomings and move more steadily and quickly on the path of cultivation. And this kind of paper for writing introspection is treasured and kept by him.
It was compiled into a volume called "Self-examination Record".
After Ji Yu read it, without comment, he picked up a pen and added another line of words: "Shenhun, the state of mind power."
Chen Xi took it and took a look, and couldn't help being stunned.
As far as he knows, the soul can be said to be the most mysterious existence in the human body. The power of the soul is mysterious and unpredictable, and can be roughly divided into five realms: perception, mind power, spiritual mind, spiritual mind, and spiritual consciousness.
However, this division of power is not rigorous. Some people are born with powerful souls and can already condense their telekinesis power when they step into the innate realm, while some people do not form perceptions of their soul power until they step into the Zifu realm.
In the final analysis, most of the differences are caused by the lack of the method of contemplating the soul.
Without the method of visualization, the power of the soul cannot be cultivated. It can only be improved with the improvement of the cultivation realm. Because of this, in the cultivation world, there is a unified understanding, that is, monks in the innate realm have perception.
The monks from Zifu have the power of mind, the monks from Huangting have spiritual mind, and above Nirvana they all have divine consciousness.
"The wonderful use of spiritual consciousness is by no means as simple as you imagine. If you meditate on the real body mark left by the master day and night, you may have discovered that the power of the divine soul can not only continuously enhance your perception, but also feed back your cultivation.
and martial arts."
Ji Yu lay lazily in the wicker chair and explained softly: "If it weren't for your powerful soul, it would have been impossible to practice the Great Beng Fist so quickly to the point where heaven and man are one. Likewise, your body and sword skills have also improved."
In order to make rapid progress, in addition to diligent training, a strong soul also plays an immeasurable role."
In fact, Chen Xi had already been vaguely aware of the power of the soul from his talisman making and cooking skills. Now when he listened to Ji Yu's explanation, he instantly felt like he had an enlightenment.
"It seems that I will pay more attention to the cultivation of the soul in the future..."
After muttering to himself, Chen Xi raised his head and saw that Ji Yu's figure was missing. Just as he was stunned, he heard a knock on the door.
"Chen Xi, the trials in the Southern Barbarian Underworld will begin in three days. Come out, I have something to talk to you about."
